MIXING APPARATUS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 388,724, dated August 28, 1888.

Application filed March 22, 1588. Serial No. 268,114.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, BLEIOHA D SOHUMM, a subject of the King of Bavaria, Germany,

' residing at New York, in the city and county of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Mixing Apparatus, of which the following is a specification.

This invention has for its object to provide a novel and simple but efficient apparatus for mixing liquids, such as an acid solution with a diluting fluid for preserving beer; and it consists in the features of construction hereinafter described and claimed, reference being made to the accompanying drawing, in which the figure is a central vertical sectional view ofa mixing apparatus constructed in accordance with my invention.

In the drawing, the letter A indicates a reservoir or receiver. A suitable lining, B, such as a non-corrosive metal lining,wil1 add to the durability of the receiver.

0 is a supply-vessel mounted upon and made to communicate with the upper end of a vertical discharge-tube, D, having a lateral discharge-arm, E. The arm E has a series of perforations in its upper side, so that the contents of the tube D pass out from the arm E in a series of jets.

To the tube D is connected a stirrer (shown as consisting of two screw-blades, F F) fixed on the tube to revolve therewith in a horizontal plane;

The bevel-gears G H are adapted to impart rotary motion to the tube D, arm E, and stirrer F. A shaft, I, and crank J are shown adapted to rotate the gear H. The bevel-gear G is fixed directly upon the rotary liquid-conducting tube D, below the vessel or hopper 0, so that said tube projects through said gear, and thereby serves to support the hopper 0 above the receiver or reservoir A. By having a stop-cook, K, suitably applied the outflow from the supply-vessel G can be checked or started, as desired.

An inlet-tube, L, is adapted to force air or gas into the receiver A. The passage through the tube L can be cut off by a stop-cock, Q. A gage, M, can be made to indicate the pressure in the receiver. The outlet N from the receiver A can be closed by a stop-cock, O,

(No model.)

and a spraymozzle, P, can be made to divide the outflow of material from the outlet N.

The apparatus is very seviceable-for example, in preparing. preserving fluids. 1f the supply-vessel O, for example, contains a concentrated solution of salicylic acid, and the receiver A contains a suitable dilutingfluid, it is only necessary to open the stopcock K and rotate the tube D,when the solution flowing from the arm E will mingle with the diluting-fluid in the receiver until the fluid in the receiver has attained the proper strength. By then creating a ,pressure by means of gas or air forced through the tube L into the receiver and opening the stop-cock O the fluid from the receiver A will spray through the nozzle 1? onto any desired object. Thus the nozzle P can be made to direct the sprays issuing therefrom over aquantity of beer which is to be preservedfrom spoiling.

I am aware that a churn has been composed of a vessel, a vertical rotary shaft carrying vertically'revolving screwwheels, and a tube having a discharge-nozzle at its lower end to induce a current of air and deliver it at the bottom of the vessel. Such, therefore, I do not claim.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-- 1. A liquid-mixing apparatus consisting of the reservoir A, having a delivery-outlet, N,

a vertical axially-rotating liquid-conducting tube, D, having rigidly attached stirrerblades F, and a lateral arm, E, below said blades, provided with perforations, a gear, G, fixed ou the tube, a liquid-holding hopper, 0, connected with the upper end of the tube above said gear and provided with a stopcock, K, and a rotary gear, H, for revolving the gear fixed on the tube, substantially as de scribed.

2. A liquid-mixing apparatus consisting. of the reservoir A, having the valved outlet N at its bottom and an air-forcing tube, L, at its top, the vertical axially-rotating liquid-con ducting tube D, having the rigidly-attached perforated arm E, and screw-blades F, revolving with the tube in a horizontal plane, a

gear, G, fixed on the tube .above the top of IOO the receiver, a liquid holding hopper, C, I hand and seal in the presence of two subscribmounted'upon the upper end of the tube ing witnesses.

above the said gear and 'provided with a stopcock, K, and a gear, H, for revolving the BLEICHARD SGHUMM' 5 gear fixed to the tube, substantially as de- Witnesses:
